Arizona State Football: 5 Best Moments of 2013

The Arizona State Sun Devils finished 2013 with a 10-3 record and were one win shy of playing in the Rose Bowl.

It was a very successful campaign by all accounts.

The season was filled with many memorable moments such as scoring 62 points against USC, the crazy Wisconsin ending and winning the Pac-12 South title.

The greatest moment of all, though, has to be the Sun Devils' huge 58-21 win over Arizona to keep the Territorial Cup in Tempe. It's always great to beat your rival, but beating the Wildcats by 37 made every ASU fan smile.

It's remarkable what head coach Todd Graham has done with the Sun Devil program, taking them from mediocrity to the Pac-12 title game in just two years.

The Sun Devils are now set up to be a power in the Pac-12 for many years to come.

The 2013 season isn't quite over for ASU though, as the Sun Devils still have a Holiday Bowl meeting with Texas Tech on Dec. 30. Who knows, there still may be a few memorable moments to come.

With that said, here is a list of the best moments of Arizona State's 2013 season.

ASU’s 62 points matched the second-most points scored in a Pac-10/12 game in school history. The Sun Devils amassed 612 yards – most in nearly 13 years -- against a team that had not given up 300 in a game all season.

I didn’t even know I caught it. They probably would have had a first down on that play, but because of that we won the game. I just looked and the ball was in my hands. I was like, 'Shoot, all right, we won.'

This play defined ASU's season: The team was resilient and never gave up.

2. Winning the Pac-12 South

Robert Hanashiro-USA TODAY SportWinning the school's first Pac-12 South title was a major milestone for Arizona State.

ASU traveled to Pasadena to take on UCLA with the Pac-12 South title on the line on Nov. 23. If the Sun Devils won, they would be Pac-12 South champions; if they lost, UCLA would be one win away from their third-straight title.

These were the games ASU had lost in recent years, big road games.

2013 was different though.

The Sun Devils beat the Bruins 38-33 to win the Pac-12 South title for the first time in school history that night in California.

This moment is second on this list because it sent ASU to the Pac-12 Championship game and was the first big road win for the Sun Devils in recent memory.
